You walk to the creepy staircase.
You turn and look back into the dark. Lightning flashes. By some
evil power the dim light remains. The scary portrait of the woman
with black eyes hangs over the mantle of a long dead fireplace. The
woman suddenly becomes alive as the background swirls madly.
"You'll never find them," she hisses. "Leave now and
you'll be spared. Stay . . . and you shall lose your mind here
forever."
Outside the thunderstorm rages. The dim light from the lightning
illuminates the room with an eerie light. You notice that the
staircase is very narrow and twists upwards into the darkness. Your
about to go up when a voice stops you dead in your tracks.
